Moorea-Maiao in August
Great time to visit
August matches July for perfect weather but adds those surprisingly cool mornings that make you appreciate tropical paradise even more. Peak crowds and prices are the trade-off.
Weather
August extends July's perfect weather pattern with maybe even less humidity. Morning temperatures can dip to 18°C in the valleys, making coffee on the deck actually appealing. Afternoon highs stay comfortable, and rain remains rare.

All Months
April through November brings trade winds that keep temperatures bearable and rain to a minimum. July and August see crowds from French school holidays - book accommodation early or pay premium prices. The shoulder months of April, May, October, and November offer the sweet spot of good weather and reasonable crowds. December through March brings cyclone season and humidity that makes you question life choices. But here's the thing - even wet season has its charms. Waterfalls rage, vegetation explodes in impossible greens, and you might have entire islands to yourself. Just pack good rain gear and flexible plans.
